Mike G has signed off for the season and the Giants are in the world series

I wanted to post a discussion about local forecasts and hopefully have people chime in about what may be going off during the off season. I know we all look at the weather reports and the BAK is a perfect platform to share some real time forecasting.

I like it... ikitesurf's computer forecasts don't always do the trick in the off-season so a discussion here seems like a great way to go! Even so, I'm guessing I'll be doing more reading than contributing, but hopefully the wind-savvy folks can help a bit![Go Giants!]

I use wind alert animated forecast to get an idea of what's coming up.Then ikitesurf computer tables to narrow things down.And finally windguru to check the gfs, Nam and wram of the spots with possible wind.

I find this more reliable for winter forecasting than summer because its mostly winter storms that make the wind, and I pretty much only ride the coastal spots. SE direction on the coastal forecast is usually pretty valid for Alameda and marina bay as well.
